in comparison to our last two successful seasons

this year played 19 - 30 points

1999-2000 played 19 - 34 points - finished with 82 points

1996-1997 played 19 - 34 points - finished with 80 points

Still got a bit of catching up to do, but just like those two seasons, we are picking up points even when we are not playing to the standard we know we can achieve.

 

we must be doing something right then

 

Well at the begining of the season I would b happy being 6th going into the christmas period

 

same but i think we need a new upfront....i mean ok we are winnin but have you noticed how many goals our midfield has scored

 

as long as someone is scoring

im happy. a striker in form would help. but would be hard to sign one

 

RE: as long as someone is scoring

Yep agreed tyketastic whats to worry about goals were scoring them arent we. Doesnt bother me who scores them

 

We weren't successful in 2000 because we lost in the Play Off Final! Granted the success was there in getting to the final, but we still lost.

 

19 games into promotion seasons

 

but int that why the current midfield were brought in. werent they classed as goal scoreing midfield players.

 

As the Yanks would say though

We had a winning season (more wins than defeats)

 

RE: As the Yanks would say though

Funny that, I thought we were British!

A winning/successful season surely is determined by actually having some success i.e. promotion, not nearly getting promoted.

Our last successful season was when we were promoted to the then named FA Carling Premiership.

 

just as a note on that........

in 1996 - 97 we got 80 points whereas in 1999-2000 we got 82 (EIGHTY TWO) points. So in terms of points 1999-2000 was a more succesful year, unfortunately Charlton, Man City and Ipswich had even better seasons and all got more points.

 

Surely that depends

If, for instance, the season after you get promoted you say your aim is to avoid relegation and you do that, that is a successful season.

Similarly if you say you are aiming for a top 6 finish and you get in the playoffs, it's a successful season.

I agree - ultimately in 2000, we failed (in achieving promotion) but I think most people would say that we had a successful season
